Chapter 040: Auction
In the next few days, Jia Rudao still went to work during the day and checked information at home at night, and his life was simple and fulfilling.
Especially after going to Ah San's uncle's house, Jia Rudao became more diligent, at least, in terms of checking materials, he showed unprecedented enthusiasm, not only looking for it from the Internet, but also going to Xinhua Bookstore. However, the Xinhua Bookstore in Linhai is not large, and the collection of books, especially the collection of antiques, is really pitiful.
Jia Rudao can only find out when to take the time to go to the provincial capital.
At work this day, Lao Yang pulled Jia Rudao and said a piece of news, saying that the old lady had found it, surnamed Liu, and the place where she lived was in the ancient city, in an alley, with a single courtyard, and the house was quite spacious, but just two days ago, the door was locked with copper. I heard from my neighbor that I was going out of the house and should go north.
"The old lady may have gone back to her hometown. When Jia Rudao heard this, he had no choice but to say so. As for finding a place, I didn't see anyone, and Lao Yang had no choice. In Jia Nidao's thanks, Lao Yang couldn't understand the faint loss in Jia Nidao's heart.
Fortunately, Jia Rudao was not discouraged, and when it came to Saturday, it was still like going to an appointment, and he came to the antique street early, shuttling back and forth in the antique market like a headless fly, just looking, not making a move, and enjoying himself alone. I didn't think about it, and I didn't go around for long, when someone patted me on the shoulder from behind, and I was startled. When he looked back, it was Ah San, Jia Rudao couldn't help but be annoyed angrily: "You don't know, this person is scary, scared to death?"
"Hehe, I knew you would be here at this time. Let's go, I'll take you to a good place today. Ah San pulled Jia Rudao and walked to the 'Zhou Ji' jade shop. This made Jia Yidao a little crying and laughing, hurried a few steps, caught up with Ah San's footsteps, and asked, "Don't you want to go to Yanran again?"
Jia Rudao has not forgotten the scene of the first time he followed Ah San to the antique street.
"Yes, isn't it okay?" Ah San glanced at Jia Rudao and continued to walk forward, "If you don't want to go, you missed the opportunity, don't say that I didn't call you when the time comes." ”
Jia Rudao pondered the tone of Ah San's speech, as if this trip might really have little to do with Yan Ran. When I entered the 'Weekly Journal', there were no customers in the lobby. After looking carefully, this big Saturday, Yanran was not there, no wonder even the young people who were swarming at ordinary times were gone. And Uncle Zhou was still sitting in the old place reading the newspaper. I have to make Jia Yidao wonder, is this newspaper really so attractive? Why does Uncle Zhou hold one in his hand all the time? Or is Uncle Zhou not reading the newspaper at all, just posing?
"Why are you here!" Ah Li greeted and said to Ah San, "Wait a minute, Yan Ran will be here soon." ”
Yes, Jia Rudao glanced at Ah San fiercely, and sure enough, he came to chase the beauty, but there was no need to pull himself up every time. Ah San turned a blind eye to Jia Yidao's actions. After Ah Li saw it, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said to Jia Rudao: "Xiao Jia, you have wronged Ah San this time." ”
Saying that, he didn't explain, he heard the phone ringing, looked at the number casually, shook the phone at the two of them, and glanced at Ah San very meaningfully, and said, "Let's go, don't say I didn't arrange a chance for you." ”
When it was time to publish the 'Zhou Ji', Uncle Zhou put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Pay attention to safety on the road." ”
"Got it. Ali replied briskly, turning her head and grimacing at Uncle Zhou.
"This girl. ......" Uncle Zhou couldn't help but shake his head, with a doting look on his face. ……
Out of the 'Zhou Ji' jade shop, hurriedly walked a few steps, the three of them went straight out of the alley of the antique street, Jia Rudao was curious, Alilo looked for it, waved at a black Audi car on the side of the street, and then walked over.
"Don't look at it, let's go. At this time, Ah San saw that Jia Rudao was still looking around, and couldn't help but explain, "Accompany us to the provincial capital." ”
"To the provincial capital?" Jia Rudao wondered. From Linhai to Hangzhou, although there is a road of more than 200 kilometers, because there are highways along the way, it does not take two or three hours to arrive. However, this big Saturday, although there is nothing to do, there is no need to go to Hangzhou idlely, right?
"yes, there's an auction over there today, just to see it. Ah San said, walked to the side of the car, pulled the back door of the car, and sat in. At this time, Ali had already sat in the co-pilot's seat, and Jia Rudao followed Ah San into the back seat. When the car restarted, I realized that it was Yanran who was driving.
Along the way, there was little dialogue between the four of them. Ah San wanted to talk to Yan Ran a few more words, but people seemed to be concentrating on driving the car, and Ah San died down if there was no one to ride. provoked Ali on the side, laughing non-stop. In the end, the only way to do this was to accompany Jia Nidao to talk about the auction.
It turned out that I was able to go to the auction in the provincial capital this time, but I still had the blessing of Yanran, and there was a piece of jade ready to be sold. Speaking of this, Jia Rudao couldn't help but look at Yan Ran again, the long hair of the shawl, wearing a very simple and casual, blue plaid shirt, the lower body is not a skirt, but jeans, it looks capable, but in fact it is elegant, it is this kind of inadvertently, the femininity that overflows, but it is particularly attractive. But at the same time, it also gives people a cold feeling.
Ah San and Jia Yidao glanced at each other, and could only shake their heads and smile bitterly.
Originally, Jia Yidao was worried that his first time at the auction, it would look a little different, after all, what he was wearing today was really too ordinary, originally, he was just going to go shopping on the antique street, and he didn't need to talk about any pomp, just dress comfortably.
However, Yan Ran didn't say it for the time being, looking at Ah San and Ah Li, who were dressed casually, Jia Rudao pressed down the discomfort in his heart, and when he arrived at the auction venue, well, all of them were wearing casual casual clothes, and occasionally a few suits and leather shoes appeared, but they looked different.
As if sensing Jia Yidao's gaze, Ah San explained with a smile: "Why, regret not wearing a suit?" Actually, the antique world is not the fashion world, here, it's more than eyesight and strength, it doesn't matter what you wear, as long as it's clean and decent." And, do you see, just a few of them in suits, I'm sure, won't be regulars at auctions. Perhaps, like you, it's the first time I've come here. ”
Jia Rudao smiled, and the tension in his heart was mostly gone.
